    Doing good for the sake of God is as selfless as it gets, and is thus the greatest thing a person can do.
    - gramme

    My only question is: If a Christian does good, only for the Glory of his God. Why should there have to be a reward for the Christian? Doesn't that ultimatly boil down to the Christian doing it for the reward / his own ego.

    I think the whole concept of a 'Kingdom of Heavens' is a fairytale to give people hope who can not be satisfied by the fact that they lived their lives only for the 'Glory of God' and ultimatly to establish 'God's Kingdom' right here on earth.

    I think you are truly devoted if you don't need the reward at the end of the struggle. If you truly believe you are 'fighting for a good cause' the notion that you might have helped your ideals become reality should be enough reward for you.

    btw. This applies to all religions.
